First of <br />all, we are EXTREMELY concerned with the overall cost of this project especially when the destination of this trail leads <br />to "nowhere". in reference to the Star News article it was mentioned by Mr. Niziolek that it was a very dangerous <br />situation without a trail on this road. I invite him and every decision maker to travel the span of road in Elk River that we <br />do everyday, that is a far better candidate for some type of trail or sidewalk system that would Finally provide safety to <br />the many pedestrians, cyclists, and runners that we see on it. This is the -seven tenths of a mile span from Upland Ave <br />that turns into Meadowvale and would hook up to an existing trail/sidewalk at the tracks at County Road 35/192nd <br />Avenue. This trail then brings you over to Country Road One/Elk Lake Road where then the citizens can access the trail <br />that leads you to W000dland Trails. So with the addition of the new walkway from Orono Park to Downtown Elk River <br />along Highway 10 you can conceivably access Woodland Trails (A Destination) safely all the way from Orono Park by <br />using this suggested byway. <br />
